For people under 25. What newer hard rock bands do you like ?

Just trying to get an idea of what younger people like for rock. And i don't count John Mayer or any Screemo or Nu-metal as rock. It has to be harder edge Rock. Airborne is a good example...im not a huge fan but i really admire the spirit of them.You could throw some of White Stripes stuff in there too. Anything really hard guitar oriented with good melody. No bands older than say ,2000.

Reason is, i want to find NEW rock bands that kick A## ! They can be obscure as well. Thanx !

^^^^ Yes. I know this thread will probably be a little lean but hey...im sure back in the day somebody said " hey you might want to check out these guys" about Sabbath, AC/DC, Scorps, Halen ect. Hell, my girlfriend back in middle school (84') said " check out this band "....Metallica's ride the lightning...My response was " what is this crap ?" " PunK ?" I became a fan a few years later.

I'm under 25. And while I don't like a particularly vast amount of 00s music, most of what I like isn't what I would consider straight-up rock.

But by far the best rock band of today, and maybe even the best rock band to form since the end of the 80s would be Paramore.

I love Hayley Williams, she is Beautiful and sings awesome (The best Female Voice in Rock History for me), but I don't think the band is one of the best.

The thing is that the best rock bands (in my opinion) of the 2000's are very "british". Their main influences are bands like Sex Pistols, The Clash the whole Post-Punk thing, stuff like the Smiths too. So they aren't bands that are really heavy on guitars, they don't use much guitar solos or stuff like that. They are more danceable songs, with creative lyrics and stuff.

I'm NOT under 25 but if you are looking for hard rock bands that are more along the lines of the old school tradition go look into my "Retro" thread in the 2000's section. There are a lot of newer bands in there that have a hard rockin' edge but retain the old school melodic sensibility .

I am Way past 25 HR, but here is a band that Sox introduced to me and they seriously kick ass. Their debut is excellent, check them out for new hard rock you can't miss.(And DKW is right him and Joe and LOU have all got some excellent threads for old fashioned hard rock as well.)
